Final Fates Turn

Meeting the True Beast

I was running through the forest. Well more like towards civilization and more buildings. I noticed that most people were put to sleep all over the place. This isn't good. I heard the roar again come from Ben's office. This really isn't good. I ran over to the building. I heard laughter coming from the main office. So that's where I'm heading right now. I took note that the building was entirely empty as well. This is a pretty bad sign. I saw that there was some papers on the found and a few broken windows on every other hallway here.

Once I ran into the office I saw Ben finishing his transformation of becoming a Beast. Just like his dad. But less hairy, smaller, and he doesn't have horns. I saw Audrey was here too. "So you finally made it. I've proven my power now. You'll help me right? I mean you wouldn't want a slimy frog for a sister. Would you?" I glared at her and took a step forward. "Ah ah ah~ I wouldn't do that if I were you. If you try to harm me then you can say goodbye to your sweet baby sister. You wouldn't want that to happen."

She cackled. She has me cornered this time. "So I ask you again. Will you join me? My offer from before still stands." She clearly can change people into animals. "Fine. You win. I'll... join.. you. Only if you can swear my sister stays out of harms way. If she gets hurt in any way then you can kiss this deal goodbye." She waved me off. "Fine, fine. Whatever. Now, for you to get a bit of magic running through you. Stated in my deal when we had our first little chat." She grinned and pointed the staff at me then slammed the bottom on to the floor.

It was excruciatingly painful. That's the only way I could put this pain into words. One minute I'm standing perfectly fine. The next I'm on my hands and knees screaming in pain surrounded by green light. Once it was over everything was fine but I was slightly shaking. I could actually feel the power running through me. It feels weird and different. I don't like it. And I highly doubt that this is reversible. I got up slowly it still hurt but not as bad. She smiled widely. "Good. You also get go have this beast under your control as well. As a gift from me to you."

I glared at her again. "Don't get any ideas. I am still stronger and smarter than you." She cackled again before disappearing into a pink cloud. I stood there for a minute before looking at the now beastly Ben. He looked back at me but not attacking me. I rolled my eyes and sighed. "Alright let's go. We have people to find." He let out a low grumble and ran out. I followed after him and saw he was also destroying the place as he left. So it made a clear path on where he is going.

I followed the trail until I spotted him outside. He sat there patiently waiting for me. I quickly walked over to him trying to catch my breath. It isn't easy keeping a steady pace after a whole lot of running. I slowed down once I reached him. After I caught my breath I looked at him. "Don't run off without me." He only grumbled and then threw me onto his back and started running again. Before I fell off I clung to him. He ran into the forest with me on his back never once slowing down. It was fun.

He came to a stop and put me down. I took a step back and looked at the surround area. I know this place. It has edible berry bushes near by. It's also a good place to go on a walk through the woods or have a small picnic. As long as you're wiling to sit on some dried leaves and broken off pieces of bark. I doubt people from here are willing to sit on the ground. I'm pretty sure they would be complaining about it every two seconds. Wouldn't be too surprised if they attempted then give up.

Suddenly Ben roared. Then he ran off in a random direction. "Hey! Wait up!" I ran after him. It was hard to keep up since he now has more strength and speed than any normal person has. I also heard voices coming from that direction. This is going to have a long explanation and then probably lead to a whole argument of if I'm a spy or not. I can almost guarantee it. "Ben, come back!" I thought she said he was supposed to listen. I guess not. I heard another roar. I'm not excited about seeing whoever is there.

Once I finally caught up to Ben I saw that Carlos had calmed Ben down. Jay and Gil were there with him. Ben looked past them and right at me. They followed his gaze and saw me. "Liam! How have you been buddy? Haven't seen you in a while." "Hi Gil. No time to explain. Audrey has the scepter and the crown. And I can't stick around for long either. I'm not even supposed to be here right now." They looked at each other then Jay spoke. "What do you mean by you're not supposed to be here right now?"

I glanced around before I waved them over. "I made a deal. It was a gorced deal by Audrey. I can't say much more than that. But make sure that Celia stays safe. Please." Gil nodded. I knew I could trust him at least. "Wha' do yeh mean by tha'." I haven't heard that Scottish accent in a while. "No time to explain Harry. Gil will fill you in on it. Right now I've got to go." Before I left Harry grabbed my wrist. "It'll be alrigh' love. Don' worry 'bout a thing." I nodded. We parted and I ran off.

Hopefully the evil fairy princess won't know about this interaction with them. It wouldn't end well for me or them. I had to leave anyways so I could lead Audrey astray from where they are. I have no doubt that she may be keeping an eye on me in case I tried something. I hope this is worth it.

Hello again. On the weekends is when I'll update the most whenever I have another motivation to write. This chapter I decided that it wouldn't be exciting enough if I just let Liam walk with Jane I'm the forest woods thing. I don't remember if they called it a forest or the woods. Either way I hope you guys enjoyed and I'll see you in the next chapter. Bye~
